Mr. Strong in the books.

Mr. Strong's first front cover.

Mr. Strong is the strongest man imaginable. He is so strong from eating many eggs, to the point that he finds himself accidentally breaking things, until he finds a farmer whose cornfield is on fire. Mr. Strong is so strong he picks up the farmer's barn and fills it with water, pours it on the cornfield, extinguishing it. Mr. Strong is rewarded with a basket full of eggs from the chickens on the farm. He went home and sit on the chair, but it broke. At the end of the story, the reader is surprised to find out that Mr. Strong is having ice cream for dessert.

The Mr. Men Show[]

Strong3

Mr. Strong in the Mr. Men Show

For his appearance in the 2008 TV series, The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Strong keeps his red colouration, but he is now shaped like a triangle rather then a square. In addition, he loses his green hat, but gains a belt and muscly arms as a way to show his strength. As shown in the music videos for "Beachin' with the Boombox" and "Beach Party A-Go-Go", Mr. Strong seems to be popular with the Little Misses. His catchphrase is "Aw, pickles!", and he says this when he breaks something by barely even touching it, another catchphrase being "I hardly touched it". In the episode "Amusement Park", it is revealed he has a fear of heights.

He lives in a house that is white with a black roof, two windows and a triangular door which is seen in some of the episodes. In the US version of the show, Mr. Strong is voiced by Phil Lollar and has a voice modeled after that of actor Sylvester Stallone. In the UK version, he is voiced by Simon Greenall, while his singing voice is provided by Tim Whitnall.
